Sarah's Musical Journey
Sarah Lianne Lewis has achieved many exciting things in her career. She has worked with famous music groups and her music has been played in important concerts.
Early Commissions
In 2016, a big music event called the Heidelberg Music Festival asked Sarah to create a new piece of music. This is called a commission. Her piece, titled "I Dared Say It To The Sky", was played for the very first time, which is called a premiere. A singer named Sarah Maria Sun and a percussionist (someone who plays drums and other instruments) named Johannes Fischer performed it.
Music with the BBC Orchestra
Another one of Sarah's pieces, "Is there no seeker of dreams that were?", was first played by the BBC National Orchestra of Wales in 2016. This orchestra is a very important musical group in Wales. The name of her piece was inspired by a poem by Cale Young Rice. The orchestra liked her music so much that they performed it again in 2018 and 2019. These performances took place at Hoddinott Hall in Cardiff, a special place for concerts.
Awards and Recognition
Sarah's hard work and talent have also been recognized with awards. In 2018, she won the George Butterworth prize. She received this award for her piece called "Blossoms in bloom are also falling blossoms". She created this music as part of a special project with a Canadian string quartet (a group of four musicians who play string instruments) called Quatuor Bozzini.
In 2020, Sarah Lianne Lewis became the first Composer Affiliate with the BBC National Orchestra of Wales. This means she works closely with the orchestra, creating new music and helping them with their projects. It's a very important role for a composer.
